And as for loneliness
it greets me every morning.

jk/lol, it's Xander and Ladybird that greet me every morning, with affection that is far from loneliness. And this morning, DJ Laura greeted me, surprising me by keeping me company for my show. So sweet, and good to see her!

The show went ok, but the DJ after me didn't show up, so I was a little later than usual for work. Luckily someone else showed up, so that was a relief.

Someone called in and asked me to have lunch with him some time. That was kind of weird, and kind of flattering. I did say no, though. Then I second guessed it, but Laura said if it was fate that we go out, then I would have said yes. True.
